I just saw "Gravity". Wowwww. Now I found out it is in 3D too !!! The plot "may" be a little out there but I don't think so. The action is breathtaking, if you can watch it. I missed part of it because my hands were stuck to my face ! :)

Despite my ever-increasing middle age, today I learnt something new.

I was doing some research for Julia's planned #13 when the phone rang.

I just sat down and re-read a bookmarked story - Aunt Arethusa's Legacy - and realized that Ricky hadn't posted in several years, after being a rather frequent poster.

Any word from anyone?

I was going through 'My Stories' list today. I do it every day to see if anyone has left a comment. Anyway, I noticed the very poor reception that two of my stories received: Five Love Stories en Brochette, and Bobbie and the Glass Ceiling. The later was about a golf tournament, and I can understand the lack of interest. Unfortunately for those who didn't read it, there was a tremendous amount of information there pertinent to the whole Cynthia Chronicles series. That story required quite a bit of research, and probably took six months to shape up. That's okay.

Trying to find a story I read several years ago. Mom wants son to get a haircut, son refuses. Mom makes a deal, if he can keep his hair off his collar for 30 days he can keep it. Son learns a variety of updos with his mom's help. But one evening he and his mom are seen at a drive-in by two of the really popular girls when he has his hair in a Gibson Girl style. They recuit him to help them get away from their abusive boyfriends.

Much too hard to do this on the phone, see you all in the morning.

Hugs,
Erin

More than six years ago I discovered BCTS. What a wonderful discovery it was. Because my CRS, I will probably forget to say anything about my sixth anniversary of being an official member of this wonderful place when the time rolls around a few weeks from now. Strike while the iron's hot. It will be six years near the end of this month that I tentively made my first official ventures as a participant here here. I've met some wonderful people. Unfortunately, too many are departed. Thank you everyone for your wonderful contributions. Thank you for reading and commenting on mine.

In just over an hour, contrary to what the counter says.

Has anyone seen or heard from Aardvark. The last I heard of him was over a year ago and that he was looking at finishing a new story. Has anyone heard from him or anyone who knows him???? Readers want to know

Tom Clancy was my inspiration. It started with Red Storm Rising. I didn’t realize it at the time, but this was written by Larry Bond. Tom was the minor co-author. Regardless, I then read Cardinal of the Kremlin and Red October. Then, I followed the Jack Ryan sagas to the bitter end.

I was a techy. I had worked on several defense systems, all of which are now long gone. I’m a military brat and even lived on base for a couple of years. So, I had a background in the field.

I understand that my body is changing. I did not ask for it to change, it is happening anyways. My testosterone levels have been dropping for about ten years now (I'll be 57 in 2 months) and that is normal. But since my wife died 7 years ago I have not slept well. I usually get 3-5 hrs of sleep, in the past few months it's more like 3-6 hrs. Rarely do I sleep more than 6 hrs. I recently investigated the causes of low testosterone in men and found that age 40+ the levels decrease, this is natural.

Can anyone suggest why it takes so long to load the Category Browser (link in the right hand column on the home page) on my iPhone?

Cat scan found no cats, colonoscopy found no punctuation marks, blood test shows lower sugar, eye test shows beginning cataracts but again, sadly no other cats than the two who already own our home. Back brace helps but my day was sponsored by the letter L and the number 7. But.... I know who I am and how much of Andrea remains a vital part of me.... so......

Thank to the work of Joyce and Erin of One of the best sites on the Internet.

I have obviously been able to finally after a 1/2 year of not being able to sign-in, sign in again.

What happened to the story where this guy was dying and went down a worm hole and wound up a Princess with a pet dragon? It is recent within the last 6 months and I do not think it was finished. They were just getting ready for war with humans that had found them.

Marina Kelly and I have developed a final chapter for our story 'Womanless Beauty Pageant'.

I had loads I could have done today, from mowing grass to doing laundry to riding my bike. I was too tired or lazy to do any of them. I didn't even get dressed but have sat about in my nightdress all day reading Snafu - I'd quite like to do another chapter of that if I can find the energy and I'm quite pleased with some of the earlier chapters.

'While the Band Played Waltzing Matilda' is the third historical fiction novels set during World War II. This story takes place in Malaya and Singapore starting prior to hostilities. As with all my previous works the story line is not only firmly based on historical facts, the actions of the characters are all within the realm of what was possible at the time as well as the social customs, cultural attitudes and practices.

I hope those of you who read it enjoy the piece as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I have enjoyed reading many, even most, of what is offered on this site.
However, I have to say that the one that touched me the most, the one that I've

The name Wendy is taken, so I added my middle name on my user ID also. OddPOV is now Wendy Jean. I'm still a very odd person, but I have found I was not as different as I once thought I was. It was lonely thinking you were a pervert that had to hide for over 40 years. I now know I am neither a pervert or alone. I am me, and I am how I was made by God.

Campbell's soup is running commercials with the "Wisest Kid." The tomato soup version has a dad with his two girls...

As many of you know, Holly Hart passed away recently. 40 days ago, to be exact.

I don't really know about others, but among traditional Catholics, we usually hold a requiem mass forty days after a loved one's passing. I was not a relative of Holly's IRL, so I did not think it proper to arrange for such a mass. So all I did was to include Holly's name (both as Holly Logan and Holly Hart) in the list of mass intentions for yesterday's regular service (people can ask a priest to offer a Mass for several reasons, like for example, in thanksgiving, for the intentions of someone else, like a birthday, or for the repose of the soul of someone who has died).

I am not a "real" relative, nor do I think Holly was Catholic, nor particularly religious. I guess this is more for me more than anything, to declare my wishes for her, and to declare my sadness that she's gone.

People don't interact with each other, not really. We interact with an image we have built up in our minds. We see each other but we don't. We build this picture of what and who a person is and every action of that person, every word they say, is filtered through what we expect. Dirty Jew, stupid black, arrogant cracker, nasty queer, stereotypes are the foundation of these images. Large brush strokes we impose on people and of which we expect them to adhere, even if we must change the facts to make them do so.

Hi all I have turned Sixty eight and am feeling younger than ever!!!!! Must be 'GIRL POWER'.

Love and hugs to all my friends on Big Closet, Carla Bay.

It was good to meet up with Mads and the rest of the crew on Friday evening for dinner at a very reasonably priced carvery to fortify us for the stresses of the next two days.

I am with out a pc right now and use the one in the public library so I will be here off and on. Hope everyone is well.

Well, it’s not much yet, but I do have a new website up and running. You can find it at www.mnthomasbooks.com. Stop by, take a look, and let me know if you have thoughts. I built this site myself, and having never done one before, there is a lot of room for improvements, which will go along with a lot for education for me.

Just a little drable, that takes its birth under my fingers:

Today I feel so lonely,
so lonely I could die,
where are you, where?
I need you, to feel you,
hug me my friend, I miss you.

First, I'd like to thank everyone that's read and commented on this story. There are a couple of things to remember about Mark/Amanda, age. I can't think of a twelve year old child that thinks in anything but black and white. Grey isn't even a concept at this age. Secondly, Mark loves his best friend and her oppinions are important to him. Now, the bad news, I'm going to post chapter seven this afternoon which contains acliff hanger.

Hi All, I am trying to find a story from a few years ago. It was about a young photographer's assistant who was drafted as a model, became successful, then found that the Photographer is also a spy.I really would like to re-- read that one but can't find it.
Thanks,
Joani

Today I did the next small step:

I had a meeting with my manager at work to plan my transition at work.

Hello, everyone. Just wanted to let you know, I am back in BigCloset now. But I'm going to be flying in a while so haveta keep this short. Again. Moe n I are flying back to Manila - me to get back to my job, n Moe to resume her little enterprise.

I fly so much, I think I should have a stylized red 'S' on my chest. lolz.

Life seems to be intent on stopping me from having any time to myself, which is when I write as well as sleep, eat and poo - okay, TMI. Tonight, after a second twelve hour day in succession, I had two long phone calls, the second from my needy friend and it's sucked all the energy from me.

Tomorrow evening, I shall be trying to get my act in gear enough to pack for the Gabicon, so I honestly don't know when I shall next have time to write and post the next episode of Bike, possibly not until after the weekend. So please have patience, even we superhumans have off days.

I was wondering if either Lilith Langtree was still writing? I've read some of her stories but have not seen any posted for some time.

Also I was wondering about The Professor as well.

Over four years ago, while looking over what Erin’s Big Closet had to offer I came upon a story that intrigued me. It wasn’t the categories the author used to define her story. If anything they were a turn off, for I don’t bother with stories tagged as having magic or science fiction elements. While I expect there are many great stories that do, they are not my cup of tea.

I'm really starting to get frustrated and I am on the verge of lashing out. My neighbors are becoming insufferable because they have issues with the fact that I am trans.

And I'm back. I've been away a VERY long time, and I apologize for that. All I can say is that it is due to computer problems (as in the lack of internet for a LOOONG time) and a need to deal with personal issues. For those who may have tried to contact me, my email is the same, [email protected] (thank God they kept it active.)

My computer refuses to add spaces between lines. I don't know why? Yes, I'm really pissed right now, Arecee

Just kidding about the tissues. What I'm about to ask is whether I should post chapters of Lashes every day this week, or every other day? The reason I ask is that I'm going away for two weeks, starting Saturday. I can post the next four chapters of the story before I go, today, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We're flying out early Saturday morning and Friday is a time to pack. I'll be cruising the Mediterranean for ten days, enjoying watching my son entertain every day.

I probably should have said this already but I'm working on another writing project right now, so 'A Boy and his Dog' is on hold. I have every intention of finishing the story, and I have not lost even a bit of interest in it, it's just that this other project is taking precedent at the moment. I don't want to give anyone the impression that this is another story that will go unfinished.

Something triggered a memory of a story but I don't remember title or author.

He was 92

The first collaborative effort by myself and my ever gracious Anglo-Irish co-writer is now available on Kindle.

Enjoy

I have totally lost my confidence and have now clue how to get it back.

What ever happened to Sara UK?

My transition had been going extremely well --- Until recently.

As much as I try not to, as much as I try to divert my attention away from the feelings of worthlessness, of intellectual and creative inadequacy, and the persistent question, "Why bother?", I'm finding myself slipping into depression again.

Okay, so maybe not a great author, but I got you to check out the blog, how about checking out the clip and telling me what you think. If for nothing else, you get to see and hear what I look like. I am out there and there might not be any bringing me back.

Please post comments too.

I wish we could embed this so you don't have to go off page.

looking for a story I don't know if I read here or on another site. Its a father had to go on a working vacation and his wife and son was invited. and when they left home they forgot his suit case. And everyone thought he was a girl.
